Action Against Hunger is dedicated to addressing the complex challenges of hunger and malnutrition. Its guiding principle, "Nourish. Strengthen. Empower," drives its commitment to creating lasting change. The NGO believes that nourishment extends beyond providing food; it involves ensuring access to nutritious meals and tackling the root causes of food insecurity. Empowerment is a transformative process where the organization advocates for equitable food systems and amplifies the voices of those it serves, enabling active participation in the fight against hunger.

Major Interventions:

Nutrition & Health: It prioritizes early preventative measures to disrupt the cycle of malnutrition from conception to a child's second birthday. This includes timely registration of pregnancies, individualized home visits for counselling on pregnancy care, and collective discussions to encourage institutional deliveries and proper infant and young child feeding practices. It also focuses on championing optimal breastfeeding, enhancing infant health outcomes, and establishing infrastructure for effective malnutrition screening.

Food Security & Livelihoods (FSL): The NGO empowers communities with sustainable income sources that strengthen their food security and nutritional health. Through initiatives such as nutrition gardens, poultry production, organic farming, and aquaculture, families can improve their diets and generate additional earnings. These practices encourage self-reliance and resilience, lessening dependency on external support and promoting overall well-being.

Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH): Improving hygiene and sanitation is vital in the fight against diseases that lead to malnutrition. The NGO engages communities by teaching essential practices such as effective handwashing at crucial times. It also installs tippy taps to ensure families have better access to clean drinking water, creating healthier environments for families and children.

Capacity Building & Advocacy: It conducts regular, need-based training sessions for Anganwadi workers, Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs), and Panchayati Raj Institute (PRI) members. This training equips them to deliver vital health and nutrition services and play a proactive role in ensuring government services reach the most vulnerable.
